Friends of the Pohnpei Public Library – Summer Reading Program 2026 theme: Unearth a story:

The Friends of the Pohnpei Public Library is thrilled to announce the official calendar for our Summer Reading Program 2026. We are excited to welcome both new and returning students, and we look forward to a meaningful summer session filled with discovery and creativity. 

This year’s program will encourage young readers to explore stories that connect with culture, nature, and imagination and celebrate the joy of reading while building lasting friendships and skills. Each student is required to come prepared with snacks and a water bottle. Please review and master the calendar carefully to ensure your child attends on the correct days. Join us as we unearth stories together and make Summer 2026 a season of learning, adventure, and fun!

A Heartfelt Donation to the Pohnpei Public Library

Today, a generous father and his children visited the Pohnpei Public Library and donated a wonderful collection of books and crayons for our community to enjoy.

We are deeply grateful for their kindness and generosity. Donations like these help enrich our library's resources, encourage a love of reading, and provide creative opportunities for children and families who visit our library.

Their thoughtful contribution is a meaningful reminder that even simple acts of giving can make a lasting difference in the lives of others. The donated books will inspire learning and imagination, while the crayons will support creativity and self-expression among our young patrons.

On behalf of the library staff, volunteers, and the many community members who will benefit from these gifts, we extend our sincere thanks to this caring family for their support. Your generosity helps strengthen our mission of providing access to knowledge, learning, and creativity for everyone.

Thank you for investing in our community and helping make the library a welcoming place for all. 📚🖍️❤️
